This small church serves a large area in the northeast corner of McCook
County, and has an active congregation even in this time of almost unlimited
automobile travel. It is clearly the religious and social home to the
community of rather rurally located folks.

A view of the Ramsey Baptist Cemetery -
245th Street entrance

As with most rural churches the people who created the
Ramsey Baptist Church also created the Ramsey Baptist Cemetery. They
are both close together and within the rich Vermillion River valley which
was heavily populated during the homestead days. It is apparent that
many of the retiring farmers are not replaced in every case but farming
continues to be the way of life.

1. A Cemetery Map

An aerial photo showing the cemetery in relationship to
the adjacent McCook County Roadway, 245th Street, gives the user a physical setting.

2. A List of Burials

A listing of the burials at Ramsey Baptist Cemetery – Section 6 – Ramsey Township – McCook County, gives the individual names in alphabetic order. This
listing also gives the date of birth and date of death when available.
Unfortunately, those burials without grave markers are not generally included
because the official burial list was not available at this time.
